looks like all you need to do is re-encode your DivX as h.264. shouldn't be a problem if you were able to encode the DVD or TV stream to DivX in the first place...:)
The difference here is that there was an existing market of home ripping MP3 users. There isn't anything like that for home TV ripping (well, fine maybe a small one). The majority of DivX TV files are illegally procured. Well, they're at best not gained through authorized means and that's hazy enough to be illegall under current conditions.
I expected Apple to come out with ripping software at this event. Something that would rip DVDs to iPod compatible files. I still do expect that actually. I suspect the biggest hurdle is that they have to get the MPAA on board because the DVDs are encrypted and Apple won't want to create DRMed files from your physically owned DVDs.
I wonder if it at least plays non-FairPlay h.264 files... Off to the iPod site to check.
One of the books that came out a few years ago (I unfortunately have no idea which one) gave a great explanation of how Yoda actually achieved exile on Dagobah. It also explained the "evil cave".
The general idea was that Yoda fought a Sith or some other evil there, and his light force against the dark force of that evil canceled out any tell tail signs that a great Jedi was living there. It's too bad this wasn't followed up on in the movies...just like so many others
go look at the NASA site. it is most certainly not Nasa. habit nothing. it's an acronym. and just because it doesn't include the dots between the letters, it's still all capitalized.
I think there is a world market for maybe five sexbots. (Thomas Watson of IBM)
Where the ENIBOT is equipped with 18,000 vacuum tubes and weighs 30 tons, sexbots in the future may have only 1,000 vacuum tubes and perhaps weigh 1.5 tons. (Popular Mechanics)
Most sexbots will probably still occupy a large room, however, because of the space needed for the ancillary software - the tapes and cards to be fed in, the operating staff, and the huge piles of paper for printing out the results. (Prof Desmond King-Hele)
The Sexintosh uses an experimental device called a breast. There is no evidence that people want to use these things. (John Dvorak) No one knows what to do with seven sexbots at one time. (PC Week Magazine)

good:) so now you know that the football references in the article are mostly tongue-in-cheek or sarcastic and that CT didn't really get that when he wrote the summary.
Because some people like (need) to be productive now, not a year from now. Because the new laptops will be just as effective at tasks as they would have been without knowledge of a new processor line. Because computers are always being upgraded and waiting for the next best line to come out means you never make a purchase.
that's just the thing. you're completely missing the point.
iTunes AREN'T pay-per-listen and the videos won't be either.
as for the dvd player, you've proven my point that there is a market for entertainment here. you yourself don't use it, but you found the need to buy one for the kids.
you don't honestly believe that you have to pay $.99 every time you listen to a song from the iTMS do you?
get over yourself with the karma attitude. is the imaginary status really that important to you? honestly, if you put thought into your posts there's no reason that it would net a value that would actually affect your karma.
then again, every time I've used rsync on files that I've known are the same but with different timestamps, rsync happily checks the hashes on segments of the file and doesn't actually transfer all the data.
this is one of the big features of rsync, that it can do partial resumes. maybe you also aren't using the -P or --partial flags.
as for 7, 8, and 9: you're surprised that a G5 runs Spotlight faster than a G4? I'd assume that Spotlight takes advantage of altivec. there are tips on macosxhints.com for how to default to find by name. yes, Spotlight is new. it'll get better and if locate is faster at finding, then use locate until Spotlight catches up.

just bite down on the tin foil
This is going to be the best prom ever, eh?
Sadly, I read that as:

you're forgetting that this was posted on Slashdot, where "edit" is synonymous with "reject or accept".

sigh, I suppose the winky face is required.

whatch the series. or at least the first 10 minutes. it means good and is a term used several times in the show.

thank you axel.

I think that about sums up most of the arguments.
yeah, zooming out shows that they're craters
but I'm still keeping my shifty eyes on...they're just too much fun
hmm, I hope not. looks to me like the shadows are going opposite directions...
:shifty eyes engaged:
they're not implying that all the other shadows are craters and not hills are they?
that's just the thing. you're completely missing the point.

because iTunes music is pay-per-listen... ::roll::
and maybe YOU yourself do really need to be entertained THAT much as to need a portable dvd player...
a blend of both?

for me, it's fast enough on my G3 500.
Yep, that's why I always put a router between my Apple MAC and the Internet.
